It would help if you told us if your planning on using the system for Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, 3d work (3dmax, maya, lightwave, ....)

• For Flash its more then plenty
• For Photoshop or illustrator, it will work put adobe graphic products are memory hogs. If you upgrade your memory, stuff will run faster in photoshop.
• For 3D apps, it will run it. Just like photoshop i would upgrade the memory to 1GB, it will inprove your performance.
• If you use Bryce, forget it, its slow on any hardware configuation. Nice program, just slow in the rendering.
